Matt,
I think Chris Hoyt did a great job in being an market innovator and getting an early career native app out. However, he did have mobile web support from Jobs2Web in tandem.

I worked with Chris on this project, but I have no details as too its performance now a 18 months later. I understand that Chris is speaking at mRecruitingCamp (http://mrecruitingcamp.com/agenda/) sharing his experience at Pepsi as a Case Study, so you may learn more about it there?

Pepsi has a great mobile app called Possibilities – it has employee videos talking about what they do, current openings, etc. It’s pretty slick – at least it was a year and a half ago when it came out.

Kathryn,
Thanks for your comments. I was recently involved in a job fair for software developers for start ups, we used a simple mSite to leave your contact details and rate yourself against 3 core skills using an easy tap interface. Candidates rated using a 5 star system where 1 star was “rookie” and 5 stars was “guru”.

The stand was plastered in QR codes as were the business cards being handed out with job titiles on.

It was a great success leading to hires.

Thank you for the article, Dave.

Like many people, I live with my cell phone practically glued to my hand. As a talent acquisition enthusiast, I am excited to have recruitment practices meet mobile demands.

In my experience, some of the only candidate interaction via mobile I have seen is through Craigslist. Applications are sent to the job poster by email, however, this leads to the aforementioned trouble of a “mass volume of resumes.”

I was intrigued by Paul’s comment about paper resumes being exchanged at job fairs. I recalled a commercial for Samsung’s new phone, the Galaxy S3, and the S Beam feature. Assuming this is a Bluetooth type of connection, a user can share photos, videos and music instantly with other users simply by touching the phone backs together. Could this be the new wave of college career fairs?

Again, thank you for continuing the conversation about mobile demand in recruitment.

Dave,

Mobile recruiting is definitely being driven by the rise of social media for recruiting–the two increasingly go hand in hand.

Thanks for the great piece!

Jeff – to address your question – this isn’t a mobile-only campaign but it’s at least a partial example –

Here’s another tiny example, though without numbers on hiring.

Thanks Paul for your comments.

I disagree about the tough sell.

If you are actively using social media for recruitment campaigns and are not thinking about mobile, it will not be long before your social effort will have diminishing returns. That is one of the numerous tipping points for mobile recruiting.

Jeff – I checked out the site, my guess is you first need to review the success of your exiting recruitment section and then consider how to migrate that to mobile. The numbers sound high, but this I presume is general traffic not just recruitment.

If you want we can chat off line about this – mrdavemartin@me.com

Are there any examples out there of successful mobile campaigns? Our mobile site (startribune.com) gets over 4 million page views a month and many employers would find the reader demographics highly desirable (68% household income $75k+, 74% college educated, etc). If there is a way to turn this audience into an effective talent stream for hiring companies, I want to know how (and presumably the hiring companies do too)!

Thanks for this. Time for third party recruiters – and recruitment software – to catch up!
